Synopsis
Robin Skelton presents a study of the poems of Thomas Carew, Sir John Suckling, Richard Lovelace and Edmund Waller - four poets representative of those favourable to the Royal cause in the English Civil War, though the first of his subject, Carew, died before the conflict opened, and the last, Waller, later write in praise of Cromwell, the King's most powerful opponent. 'The common factor that binds the Cavaliers together, ' he writes, 'is their use of direct and colloquial language expressive of a highly individual personality, and their enjoyment of the casual, the amateur, the affectionate poem written by the way.'
Robin Skelton was a poet and a lecturer in English at Manchester University.
